Residents of Madaiahnakatte hamlet in Hunsur taluk have accused the authorities of forcing them to get vaccinated against COVID-19.
They complained to a visiting NGO that 30 people were vaccinated without taking them into confidence recently. The NGO —Development through Education (DEED) — said that the people had panicked as almost 20 of the 30 people who were vaccinated, are reporting discomfort and some form of illness.
When the DEED visited the hamlet on receiving complaints, locals said they were afflicted by fever. Hence S. Sreekanth of DEED suggested that the authorities conduct a general medical check-up and help infuse confidence in the community. There were also complaints that some local officials had issued oral orders that ration should not be distributed unless people were vaccinated, he added.
